    you played it fine, you raised preflop, the flop came all low cards , usually people dont call raises with low cards (maybe low PP) so you have to assume you are ahead. The push on the flop was ok

    It's a tourney. You played it fine.

    Another equally fine play with your stack and the blind levels would have been pushing preflop.

    You can calm yourself by thinking that with this kind of play, this guy will lose more money than he'll win in the long run

    Had nothing but problems today too. When you're scared to lose money (as I was today I noticed after I blew another $10), you just can't think straight.

    So blew money playing like crap, won it all back with KK, then slowly lost most of it again.

    And then.. I decide it's time for a major bluff. Folded the guy who had a high pair.. but another guy follows. More bluff, he simply calls everything. Neither of us had anything. He wins with high card Ace. Turns out he had AK and just couldn't let go of his 'high hand'. (he played like crap for the rest so this wasn't his "good read" since I had been playing tight all the time)

    Then I finally get high cards.. flop comes, TPTK.. but something was up, definately, this passive guy was betting big.. but I just couldn't let go. For some reason.
    Went broke on his flush.

    If you raise more preflop, you probably won't get as many callers, which makes it less likely for something like 43s to bust your ass on an all-low board. Play on the flop is bad. There's an ace showing, and you're meeting resistance, you should not reraise the guy, it's suicide. You're lucky that your opponent checked down the turn and river, so you didn't lose more money on the hand.
